PUT IT DOWN

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PUT IT DOWN” was registered on the Principal Register on March 7, 2017 but was cancelled on September 22, 2023 because the State of Florida Department of Transportation, the owner, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered advertising and business services, specifically “Promoting public interest and awareness of the dangers of texting and driving.” A similar name used for services or products in that same advertising or public‑interest area would raise the closest record‑based concern. The cancellation means the mark no longer provides protection, but it does not remove any prior rights that may still exist in other classes or through other legal avenues. The latest meaningful event was the Section 8 cancellation in September 2023; no further maintenance dates are listed. The supplied history shows no enforcement actions such as oppositions or court proceedings. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the specific advertising and public‑interest scope remains a potential point of concern.
